The hydraulic system that operates
the brakes has two separate circuits.
Each circuit works diagonally across
the vehicle (the left-front brake is
connected with the right-rear brake,
etc.). If one circuit should develop a
problem, you will still have braking
at two wheels.

If the brake pads need replacing, you
will hear a distinctive, metallic
screeching sound when you apply
the brake pedal. If you do not have
the brake pads replaced, they will
screech all the time. It is normal for
the brakes to occasionally squeal or
squeak when you apply them.

The following features are also
equipped:

When you release the brake pedal
while the Auto Idle Stop function is
activated, this feature keeps the
braking pressure until the engine
starts, and prevents the vehicle from
dropping back.

This feature helps you apply the
brakes with less force during an
emergency braking situation.
